What’s your story?

My name is Ellie Hilscher, and I graduated from Drake University in May 2020 with a Bachelor’s in Digital Media Production and a Bachelor’s in History. My passion for videography and photography is closely tied to the outdoors, especially animal and horse show photography. In my free time, I compete in amateur hunter-jumper shows across Iowa. I have a deep passion for storytelling through multimedia, ranging from photography to graphic design to website development. I’ve had the opportunity to work with both non-profits and currently work at the Student Innovation Center at Iowa State University as a Multimedia Specialist II and Team Lead for the Digital Media Studio. Thank you for visiting my website—I look forward to connecting with you!
